Hey everyone. This is my first time doing this so yea...work with me. My '99 civic ex coupe is my first car. Technically i can't drive yet, not even a permit, but i already love my car. I guess you can say this car is used 103,000 miles, but it was my dads car first so i know its in good condition. So far the only aftermarket parts i have on the car are clear tail lights, a panisonic head unit, and a brand new system. The back speakers were replaced with boston's 3 ways and the same in the front but 2ways. I just ordered a new set of rims cause everyone knows u cant ride around with hubs. My parents were bein parents and saying they didn't want me to get new rims because they juss spent $800 on new tires that have less then 2000 miles on them. So i got 14's, still nice though. Not the first choice but yea. I have a huge key mark on my hood so i'm saving my money to get an evo carbon fiber one. Not gunna do anything with the engine cuz its an auto with a lot of miles. These are my plans. The carbon hood, carbon eyebrows, type R front lip painted black, rear lip painted black, mesh grill, new gauges. Comments would be greatly appreicated. Sry for the length.

i used to have eyebrows and i got tired of looking at them so i took it off. You might feel the same way sooner or later. I would go w/ oem carbon hood IMO instead of the evo but yeah Welcome to HT

well, the first thing you should buy is a helms manual, will help you out tons. Then you can decide what you want on your car. personally i wouldn't go with some of the stuff you are getting, but its your car, and for being different more power to you
